He said he had a statue of Fudo Myo-O in his backpack, which Roben had given to his ancestors long ago. It was now in the 25th generation in it possession. When Roben gave it to his ancestor, he said it would protect the family from burglers, robbers and all kinds of disasters. Roben had carved it at the temple 相州大山寺 Oyamadera, where the ancestors of this man had helped him a lot and got the statue as a thank-you present.
